Hanging during checkout (CentOS)

I'm having trouble running svn checkout on a freshly built CentOS 4
box. Checkout will just hang at some point and never finish. By
"never" I mean at least 30 minutes, which is how long I've waited.
This is via http. Other machines (all sorts of clients - running on OS
X, Windows, FreeBSD, Debian) do not experience this problem.

The server's Apache log sometimes, but not always, contains the following....

[Wed Aug 02 16:16:34 2006] [error] [client 69.16.250.112] Provider
encountered an error while streaming a REPORT response.  [500, #0]
[Wed Aug 02 16:16:34 2006] [error] [client 69.16.250.112] A failure
occurred while driving the update report editor  [500, #190004]

...which is specifically mentioned in the Subversion FAQ and which
recommends rebuilding Apache/APR and Subversion after setting a
certain environement variable - which I've done. The FAQ entry implies
that this is only an issue when the server is running on OS X, but I
thought I'd give it a shot anyway. So the server is now running 1.3.2
and Apache 2.0.54. Still hanging the CentOS client box though.

This is happening on 2 nearly identical CentOS machines. I've tried
building Subversion from source (1.2 and 1.3) and also the default
package install via yum (1.1x) and all behave the same way.

Anything I should try?

Thanks,

Jack

None that I know of. Possible I suppose. I'll keep digging, thanks.

You know.......

Do you have any network intermittency or DNS issues? I'm wondering if you 
have a flaky network connection that's failing to close one step properly, 
so SVN is just left haning there.

Thanks, I've tried the source RPM with the same results. On a whim, I
thought I'd (once again) check using svn+ssh:// and that also hung on
me for the first time, so it seems it's not specifically a neon/dav
sort of problem.

Trouble is, it's intermittent. This morning I've been able to checkout
from a number of different repositories using both svn+ssh and http.
Works 5 out of 10 times. If I interrupt the checkout, then move into
the partial working copy's directory and run 'svn up' it has always
finished the checkout successfully.

Not sure which tree to bark up next. Do you suppose it's a CentOS
specific issue (since I have to CentOS boxes behaving this way) or
something on the server or perhaps a combination of the two? I'm happy
to provide more information if it will help.

Grab David Summers' SRPM's, from:

    http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/

David *writes* the .spec files in the tarballs: you can use those to build 
your own RPM's, which I find handy, although you may have to apply the 
relatively recent patch for 64-bit use if your system is 64-bit.
